Aswang utilizes digital brushwork techniques to bridge the gap between traditional skull art and a modern pop sensibility. The composition relies on a dynamic form arrangement, placing the figure within an astronaut skull helmet that serves as both a protective shell and a symbol of exploration, highlighting the artist's interest in human facial structure and anatomical accuracy.

The interplay of light values and shades creates a sense of depth perception that grounds the surreal subject matter. By weaving together African American fashion trends and cultural phenomena from the Southern border region, the work presents a rich cultural fusion that feels deeply rooted in a specific geographic location while reaching for something universal.
